First to review this business!

Eating Chinese and other continental dishes can be very tiring and boring, so it’s advisable to switch your style once in a while. I was craving some nice local food and wasn’t trying to cook it myself so I checked out Dealdey as usual. I was so lucky to find a deal for Ofada rice and stew at Ofada Boy Lounge Surulere. For the purpose of the review, lets call it OFBL.

The deal was for 2 plates of Ofada Rice and stew, Palm wine and Complementary Garden Egg and groundnut for 1,500Naira (what an interesting combination, right?). I called them up and made a reservation for my friend and I one hour before our arrival.

It was quite difficult locating OFBL as there is no signage or any form of identification. I had to ask around before finally locating the restaurant.

There is really no parking lot, maybe for like one car or you end up parking on the streets which didn’t look like a good idea.

I got in, and immediately showed them my dealdey receipt before any questions were asked and for the very first time ever since I’ve been purchasing deals from dealdey, the attendant immediately understood and got to work.

AMBIANCE/DÉCOR:

I was really impressed with the décor. It reminded me of a king’s palace, with the traditional mats and the Ankara prints. The cutlery was kept in an Ankara purse and I felt that was really creative.

FOOD:

We had to wait about 20-30 minutes for our food to arrive, and tbh, it was worth it. The food arrived in leaves placed on flat plates, 2 rounded scoops of rice, with ofada stew and small pieces of meat. I was in the middle of my enjoyment when palm wine arrived in a calabash and that completed the meal. The rice and stew was wonderful and I totally enjoyed it. The pieces of meat were tender and easy to chew. I was deep into the delicious rice, with palm wine that I forgot to remind them about the garden egg and groundnut.

DRINKS:

We got 2 Bottles of water for 100 Naira each (so affordable), and a bottle of Mirinda for 100 Naira as well.

SERVICE:

The service was very good. The attendant was very reassuring and attentive. He tuned the Television to a music channel to lighten our mood, as we had just finished our exams for the year. I’m only sad that he forgot the garden egg and groundnuts.

I was so glad that I didn’t have to explain the whole dealdey process, and how I had paid online. My bill was 300 naira for drinks and I tendered 500 bucks and they had change! Praise God!!! They also have POS so don’t be scared, but its naija sha, network can be terrible at times.

RATING:

I will rate OFBL a 9 over 10. The décor is extraordinary, the food is delicious, and the service is wonderful. I will definitely patronize OFBL as their food is delicious and very affordable.

ofadaboy is doing a great job with their great meals carefully prepared & healthy too. .. we need not lose touch with our traditional meals & Ofadaboy is here to make that possible.

We all need not forget ofadaboy soup lounge does not deal in ofada alone… there’s a wide range of traditional soups & meals we often forget about their existence like ebiripo, fried yam & sauce, roated plantain, sauce and stick meat etc. I implore you all to explore the OFBL menu.

Ofadaboy Souplounge is Extraordinary Access to Nature !!! Does guys are Extremely fantastic !!! There palmwine Varities thrills me the most Palmo(Palmwine with Orange), Palmpine (Palmwine with Pineapple) does re the ones I can remember…. 100 percent…

I have been there myself and I really enjoyed the service rendered, the food was on check, have you tried the flavoured palm wine? OmG! I was at an event where OfadaBoy catered as well, twas amazing! Kudos!!

I love Ofada boy soup lounge. The service and entire attitude at the lounge is one of dedication. I love the meal and everytime I am out of lagos I pine for it. The palm wine ensures a 100 percent score mark all d time. Chilled original palmwine in Lagos!!!

At ReviewNaija our goal is to create a community where we can discuss and rate companies in different industries in Nigeria based mainly on quality of products and customer service. Our hope is that, eventually, this site will make people aware of what companies in Nigeria have to offer while helping them make various decisions (where to eat, bank, start/continue one’s career, airlines to fly, etc).
